New Malawi Pictures

We have new cell phones at work that have digital cameras,
so I will post some photo's from the phone camera.
I hope that you like them.


Giant poinsettia bush beside the road.
They are a common outdoor ornamental here.


One of the bougainvillea pots in our yard at work.
Hopefully they will get more colorful.


This bougainvillea is in full sun, and is beautiful
without any care.

More plants in the yard


This plant looks like a giant-sized silver-leaf nightshade!


And this is the largest, healthiest chiflera plant that I have seen.

More pictures around the house

My apartment is on the top right.


My laundry being done in a washtub
(by Janet, who is hidden behind the clothes).


The two swallows who sit on my windowsill
between flights full of acrobat stunts.

Bougainvillea


This bougainvillea takes up the entire fence
at the BMW dealership in Lilongwe.

More pictures from work


The trees in the background are almost done
blooming.
They have been beautiful.


I walk past this tree every morning. The blooms aren't too showy,
but they smell just like honeysuckle.


This is the bougainvillea in a pot just outside my office. I'm hoping
to catch it when it turns purple.

I took this picture at the hotel, but we have them on the
station, too. They are a big, tall tree with this
orange flower right in the top.

At the office

ICRAF is located at Chitedze Agricultural Research Station

surrounded by research plots and mango trees

Covered tile walks link the offices


The very first time I've had an office for myself.
